# CURLINFO\_SSL\_VERIFYRESULT(3)

result of the certificate verification

## NAME

CURLINFO\_SSL\_VERIFYRESULT - result of the certificate verification

## SYNOPSIS

```
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_SSL_VERIFYRESULT,
                           long *result);
```

## DESCRIPTION

Pass a pointer to a long to receive the result of the server SSL certificate verification that was requested (using the *[CURLOPT\_SSL\_VERIFYPEER(3)](/CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER/3.md)* option).

0 is a positive result. Non-zero is an error.

## PROTOCOLS

This functionality affects  all TLS based protocols: HTTPS, FTPS, IMAPS, POP3S, SMTPS etc. only

This option works only with the following TLS backends: GnuTLS and OpenSSL

## EXAMPLE

```
int main(void)
{
  CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
  if(curl) {
    CURLcode result;
    long verifyresult;
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");
    result = curl_easy_perform(curl);
    if(result != CURLE_OK) {
      printf("error: %s\n", curl_easy_strerror(result));
      curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
      return 1;
    }
    result = curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_SSL_VERIFYRESULT,
                               &verifyresult);
    if(result == CURLE_OK) {
      printf("The peer verification said %s\n",
             (verifyresult ? "bad" : "fine"));
    }
    curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
  }
}
```

## AVAILABILITY

Added in curl 7.5

## RETURN VALUE

*[curl\_easy\_getinfo(3)](/curl_easy_getinfo/3.md)* returns a CURLcode indicating success or error.

CURLE\_OK (0) means everything was OK, non-zero means an error occurred, see *[libcurl-errors(3)](/libcurl-errors/3.md)*.
